Perry at the Priory
In the summer of 2004 Pericles the Decoy Duck spent a month in The Priory to get over his worm and bird seed addiction.
This blog was originally set up to chronicle his experiences and the inevitable escape attempts.
However, it refuses to die.

Day 17
__
Schrodinger's received a ransom demand for his plush Garfield toy. Ron and I heard the yowls from the other end of the secure wing so we went to investigate.Poor Schrodinger is distraught. In addition to demanding a signed undertaking never to bite lemmings ever again, the note instructed him to leave £2 million in used milk bottle tops under the clock at Victoria station in just 3 days and there's no way he can drink enough milk in time. We're organising a whip round to see if we can help but so far all we've collected is 42p and the buckle off Ron's flying helmet.
So I've decided to turn ducktective - Hercule Parrot. I shall examine all the clues, interview all the suspects and unmask the perpetrator before the deadline in 3 days. But first I must wax this nifty false moustache which came with my Tufty Club Sleuthing Kit.
Ron's also very keen to help out. I'm quite surprised. Since he is mostly active at night, he usually spends his days lying in bed reading back issues of the Hornby Collectors magazine. However he is insistent that I involve him in every step of our investigation. I think it'll be good for him to get a bit of exercise - he seems to have put on quite a bit of weight in the last couple of days.
